The Pollera Hotel was founded in 1834 by Kasper Poller and since that time, for both the founder and his descendants, the development of the building has always been a priority, and as a consequence in the period between WW I and WW II it became one of the Cracow’s most famous hotels. The history of the hotel has had its ups and downs – during the WW II the hotel was captured by the Germans, then, after the liberation of Cracow it was made into the quarters of the Russian Army. After the war for a short period of time it was returned to its legitimate owner but in 1950 it was nationalized. When in 1990 it was finally restored to the owners it was run down and neglected , but after a major overhaul it again became one of the Cracow’s most elegant and charming hotels. The most prosperous period for the hotel are the times of The Art Nouveau – the famous stained glass windows by Stanisław Wyspiański on the staircase as well as the souvenirs displayed in the reception hall date back to that period. The décor of the interiors of the hotel combine the elements of Art Nouveau and modern standards. The hotel provides a lift, an internet access (?) and a parking area located in the yard of the hotel building. The Pollera Hotel is situated in the heart of the Old Town – it is only a few-minute walk from the Cracow’s Market Square. The hotel’s windows overlook The Juliusz Słowacki Theatre. Moreover, the hotel is located in the close neighborhood of railway and bus station.
